Thank you PrincessPipi for the review. I appreciate it :)
They head back to the apartments and sleep till the next day. Kara wakes up and sees Murphy on the sofa with half his body on the floor. She scoffs and leaves to the park to relax. Murphy wakes up only to see the apartment empty so he heads to Kora's apartment, which was right in front of Kara's.
"Hey, is Kara here?" he asks.
"She sneaked out again? Ha-ha I told you to keep your guard up" Kora tells him "I'll call her to see where she's at." She picks up her cell phone and calls Kara. Over the phone:
Kara: "Hello."
Kora: "Hey where are you?"
Kara: "I'm at the park, why?"
Kora: "I wanted to do something today. I wanted to reserve a table at a restaurant for dinner, is that ok?
Kara: "Sure, Don't see why not."
Kora: Alright then, I'll have some breakfast and I'll call you back to let you know when and where."
Kara: "Okay…" They hang up.
"She's in the park" Kora tells Murphy.
"Thanks."
He goes to the park and sees her sitting on a bench and heads towards her. As soon as she sees him she sighs.
"What do you have like a tracker on me or something? You don't give up do you?" She asks him angry.
"Nope. Have to follow ya everywhere ya go. Ya know that."
"Urgh! Can't you just look the other way?"
"Not a chance." He heads over to a lady with a basket full of roses and buys her one. "Here" he says to her as he hands her the rose.
"A rose? Really?"
"Maybe it could ease up things between us."
"Don't think kissing ass is going to do it... A rose, do you know how many roses I've received?"
"I don't know, a lot?" he says as he sits beside her.
"To many I stopped counting. Men always give roses. Is that the only flower they see?"
"No, it's just the prettiest one."
"Well, not for me."
"Which flower is your favorite?"
She smiles smelling the rose "the cal-" she stops as she realizes who she's talking to. "I'm not going to tell you. I don't think it's any of your business."
"Okay, I'll make ya a deal. If I bring ya your favorite flower ya have to promise you'll stop running away."
"And if you don't?"
"I'll quit."
"And you think you can find an uncommon flower in one day?"
"Yes."
"Okay, deal!" She answers quick, confident that she is going to win the bet.
"Alright, I'll be right back. Don't move."
He leaves, and after an hour or so he comes back with bags full of flowers. He stands in front of her and starts taking out flowers. For each flower he took out, she said it wasn't the one.
"Urgh, come on just give up. It's not in there." She says tired.
"Hang on, I still have one bag left." He says as he takes out another flower. "How about this one?"
Her hand on her chin already tired. "No."
"And this one?"
"N-" she stops and opens her eyes and takes the flower. She smiles with a little chuckle. "It's beautiful, where'd you find it?"
"This is the one, isn't it?"
Not wanting to admit it she looks at him then back at the flower and says yes.
"See? I knew I'd find it. Now, no more running or sneaking out."
She just sits there speechless without wanting to admit she lost the deal but she looks at him and nods. She gets a phone call:
Kara: "Hello"
Kora: "Hey the place is called Towne Stove & Spirits, something like that. Know where it is?"
Kara: "I'll find it."
Kora: "Okay, it's at 7:00pm, so please be there on time.
Kara: "Alright I'll meet you there.
At the restaurant:
Kora and Connor arrive, and the waitress takes them to the reserved table. Not long after Kara arrives with Murph and head to the table.
"Hey" Kara says as she sits down.
Dinner is going great when all of a sudden a woman with reddish brown hair approaches them.
"Murph? Hi." Says the woman.
"Melissa! Hey, how are you?"
"I'm good. I've been calling you"
"Yeah, I've been really busy."
"I see. Mind if I seat with you?" She asks but she seats down as if someone said yes.
Kara with eyes wide open looks at Kora "Are you kidding me?" she whispers.
"What? She looks like a nice person."
"There's nothing nice about a person who sits at a dinner table without being asked to"
Her attention goes to Melissa. "I'm sorry who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Melissa. And you are?"
"Kara. So do you own this place or something?"
"Kara!" Kora whispers
"I'm sorry, do I know you? You don't seem to like me very much."
"Well, you just sat at our table so it kind of bugs me a little."
Murph and Connor look at each other. With shocking eyes.
"Okay… So, Melissa, what do you do for a living?" Kora asks trying to change the subject.
"I model. How about you?"
Kara cuts them off "Really? Who do you model for?"
Melissa looks at her confused. But Kora tries to distract again. "I own a clothing store with my sister. Kara models too, I'm guessing that's why she asked…"
"Really? Well… I've modeled for Ralph Lauren, Donatella Versace and Calvin Klein" Melissa says in a cocky tone.
"Oh, so you're a catwalk model" Kara says
"What about you?" Melissa asks.
Kara smirks "Armani, Dior, Victoria's Secret… Vogue"
"No wonder your face looked familiar." Melissa says with a hypocrite smile.
Connor and Murph still in shock. "Okay, this was nice but maybe we should get going." Connor says as he asks the waiter for the check with a hand gesture.
"I agree. I'll see you around Murph" Melissa says and winks at him as she stands up from the table and leaves.
The boys head out first to get the cars and a few feet behind the girls follow. "What the hell was that about?" Kora asks her sister in a low tone.
"What?! I don't like her"
"You don't like her or you don't like the fact that she likes Murphy?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, come on Kara. I'm your sister. I know when you like someone. So why did he do that got your attention?"
"The flower"
"Flower? Since when do you fall for the flower trick?"
"You don't get it. He bought a calla lily. Well he bought a hell of a lot of flowers but he said he wasn't going to stop until he found it and he didn't."
"Shit. That's gotta be a first. The other guys gave up after the fifth flower." She says and Kara nods.
They boys in front:
"What the hell was that all about?" Connor asks Murph
"I don't know"
"Looks like Kara was a bit jealous" Connor says and chuckles.
"I know. It was… kind of cool. Kind of dramatic wasn't it?" Murph says as he smiled.
"Aye" They arrive to the cars. "You lassies ready?"
"Yes, let's go get some ice cream. What do you say, Kar?" Kora asks
"After the night I had I just want to go home" Kara says exhausted.
